What is glow-in-the-dark ink?
Also called luminous or phosphorescent ink. It absorbs natural or UV light and continues to glow in the dark, combining practical function with visual appeal.
How long does the glow last?
Glow duration is adjustable from a few minutes to several hours depending on the formula and coating thickness, and can be matched to the application.
Is glow-in-the-dark ink safe? Can it be reused?
It uses an eco-friendly formulation with a high safety profile, and it cycles repeatedly through charge and glow with stable performance.

Three areas: glow effects on toys and creative products; safety signage and escape routing; and security graphics that appear only in the dark.
What can be customised?
Glow colour (green, blue and others) and glow duration are both customisable, and printed proofs can be supplied so you can judge actual brightness and afterglow.
